Earlier this year she caused news when she published an Instagram photo that showed her and Mnuchin stepping off a government jet, adding the caption: “Great #daytrip to #Kentucky!” She tagged several high-end designers, including Tom Ford and Valentino, in the post. The resulting comments were less than charitable; Linton then bashed one commenter for being “adorably out of touch” and made her Instagram account private for a period of time. She has since made the account public again.

But the jet photo and ensuing comments were not the first time Linton sparked a controversy. Below, see more about her life.

Linton was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and spent weekends in the Melville Castle Dalkeith. In an interview with the Daily Record in 2015, Linton said of the property: “The castle is definitely haunted and many people have claimed to see a ghost.”

In 2016, Linton released a controversial memoir about the time she spent volunteering in Zambia as a teenager. In one part of the book, she writes, “A ‘skinny white muzungu with long angel hair,’ Louise was an anomaly in darkest Africa.” She also described the country as “savage.”
